    I love gears of war. I my opinion gears is better than halo. But gears 5 is weak. Graphics look amazing. Story is weak. And Kait is just a non interesting lead character. To be far JD was weak in gears 4. Only get if you have the other games. But don’t pay full price. Not worth 60. More of a 20-25 dollar max game.

    Not as good as the past gears and with the long download times Microsoft has been losing my business.

    Just needed something to play for a couch co-op experience. It’s the same as all of the other GOW.

    The game is okay. The character movement is clunky. Gears of War 4 character movement looked better to me.

    Not a terrible game, but pretty predictable from previous Gear outings.

    Only disappointment is the online only game play. Some of us still enjoy solo gaming.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for sharing your feedback on Gears 5. Just to clarify, the Gears 5 Campaign can be played offline with 1-3 player split-screen. An internet connection is required for online multiplayer. We hope you have a lot of fun playing Gears 5.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    While not bad, in an effort to chase trends, this ended up being the worst in the series.

    Wrong version and different box cover, No Series X

    Picked up the game and the box cover art shows Xbox One, nothing about series X and the front picture is completely different. BestBuy never fixed the UPC and image on website and app. I didn't want to chance it so I returned it at the store on the spot. If I open the game and found out my series x shows this game as Xbox one then I won't be able to return the game. It's misleading and mis advertising, not good and bestbuy did nothing.

    I was expecting a more polished product and a deeper storyline. This game seems rushed and unfinished. It is extremely difficult to acquire coins to purchase in game items, the wall bouncing is ridiculous and overall just a fair game.

    I was a big fan of this series until this game. Now Im done with it. Changes made just for the sake of making changes but take away from the game play, boring story and new enemies that are not fun to fight.
